The Butthurt of Insecurity: Peter's Return

Warren Murphy - i have two new people on my heroes list: jason riley who's written a new book called "Please Stop Helping Us," and my rotten son, Brian, who took the ice cube plunge, and i now have to tell him i couldn't get a bucket big enough to engulf my whale-like frame so i'm sending off my check to als.

Peter Kaminsky - Thank you for comforting me. You are great at making people feel good.

Muhammad Rasheed - I know. It's a gift.

Chester Moyle - look up how Larry the cable guy did it. that will work

Peter Kaminsky - Do you have asshole cream, for your smug ass?

Muhammad Rasheed - No, I was fine. You're the one still living in the past.

Muhammad Rasheed - Relax, relate, release, Peter.

Peter Kaminsky - You want me to visit you and wipe that smug smile off your face...

Muhammad Rasheed - See, that's how people sound when they need some of that Extra Strength Butthurt Cream®.

Sounds like you're due for another dosage.

Peter Kaminsky - So, you make a living writing comedy?

Peter Kaminsky - Einstein could not explain it.

Muhammad Rasheed - I'm a cartoonist. I told you.

Muhammad Rasheed - Why do you keep trying me? lol

Peter Kaminsky - And do you write?

Peter Kaminsky - Your cartoons?

Muhammad Rasheed - Yes.

Peter Kaminsky - And are they supposed to be funny?

Muhammad Rasheed - I've never received a single complaint. :)

Peter Kaminsky - So, you make a living writing comedy? Even though your comedy consists, as far as I can tell, in self-congratulation and contempt for others along with a healthy dose of libel?

Peter Kaminsky - You, sir, are an asshole and an arrogant ignoramus.

Muhammad Rasheed - libel: is the communication of a false statement that harms the reputation of an individual, business, product, group, government, religion, or nation.

Be careful, Peter. It sounds like you're trying to incriminate yourself.

Peter Kaminsky - So you are a lawyer now?

Muhammad Rasheed - "Neither M. Rasheed nor any of his agents or consultants shall be liable for any improper or incorrect use of the information described and/or posted above and assumes no responsibility for anyone's use of the information."

Peter Kaminsky - So, you can say whatever you want, as long as you say you aren't responsible for it?

Peter Kaminsky - Knucklehead.

Muhammad Rasheed - You're very defamatory today. I've been noticing that about you.

Peter Kaminsky - Truth is an absolute defense to defamation.

Muhammad Rasheed - You may wish to up your Butthurt Cream Dosage. What do you say? Double?

Chester Moyle - Name a comedian that does not talk about people. even bob hope and the other classic comedians. talk about people. Or look at the king. Don Rickles. There is a line between comedy and slander. I told someone today that my friend 's girl was mad at him. She said she waanted to go someplace different for supper. So he took her to the kitchen. No lawsuit yet but will keep you informed

Peter Kaminsky - Well, one of the lines is comedy is funny, I think...

Peter Kaminsky - Anyway, since Mr. Rasheed is writing it, it's libel.

Muhammad Rasheed - You are the one typing all the libel, Peter.

Muhammad Rasheed - On the Internet no less.

Muhammad Rasheed - You'd better watch yourself.

Peter Kaminsky - Truth is an absolute defense...

Peter Kaminsky - You said I was fat and implied I was dishonest.

Muhammad Rasheed - I also said I was kidding.

Which one do you want to believe? The one that made it not mean anything, or the one that makes your butt hurt?

Here's the thing, Peter: I'm not hurting you. And you AREN'T that sensitive.

What you are doing is trying to figure me out, and crack my code, so to speak. We're just playing chess. That's why you're following me around, you want to get inside and get one on me so you can save face from my victories over you. I get it.

It's been a while since I've dealt with a debate partner like you, whose primary argument tool is sort of a weaponized annoyance. I would imagine it's probably similar to trading barbs with Woody Allen. Or Meyer Lansky.

Muhammad Rasheed - Off the top of my head.

Peter Kaminsky - You questioned it, and I responded with a picture of the Koran which you said I was lying about having. Your initial response was not a logical one. It was to insult me.

Peter Kaminsky - So you don't care about saying hurtful things?

Peter Kaminsky - You don't care how you make people feel?

Peter Kaminsky - I'm really asking?

Peter Kaminsky - I want to know?

Muhammad Rasheed - Peter Kaminsky wrote: "You questioned it, and I responded with a picture of the Koran which you said I was lying about having. Your initial response was not a logical one. It was to insult me."

Do you REALLY want to open that case up again? I do still have a whole lot more questions about it, that I was willing to let slide. Are you sure?

Peter Kaminsky - I am asking if you care about whether or not you hurt people?

About Me

"I see the world as a multi-layered, encrypted message—encrypted for countless reasons, by numerous sources. I believe our job as actively-engaged humans is to decode these messages for our own use and to document them for the greater body of human literature at the means each individual has at hand. As an artist—specifically, a cartoonist—that is the means/medium I use for my own decoding duties. Through my research, I use logic, reason and intellect to intuitively follow the knowledge thread that intrigues me, connecting the dots from pattern recognition, and producing the cartoons that form my socio-political analysis."
